To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here Lord Buddha sate the scorching summers through, The driving rains, the chilly dawns and eves ; Wearing for all men's sakes the yellow robe, Eating in beggar's guise the scanty meal Chance-gathered from the charitable ; at night Couched on the grass, homeless, alone ; while yelped The sleepless jackals round his cave, or coughs Of famished tiger from the thicket broke. By day and night here dwelt the World-honoured, 92 THE LIGHT OF ASIA.
Subduing that fair body born for bliss With fast and ...frequent watch and search intense Of silent meditation, so prolonged That ofttimes while he mused as motionless As the fixed rock his seat the squirrel leaped Upon his knee, the timid quail led forth Her brood between his feet, and blue doves pecked The rice-grains from the bowl beside his hand.
Thus would he muse from noontide when the land Shimmered with heat, and walls and temples danced In the reeking air till sunset, noting not The blazing globe roll down, nor evening glide, Purple and swift, across the softened fields ; Nor the still coming of the stars, nor throb Of drum-skins in the busy town, nor screech Of owl and night-jar ; wholly wrapt from self In keen unravelling of the threads of thought And steadfast pacing of life's labyrinths.
